This is such a nice, clean, comfortable hotel located central to the college campuses. Its a perfect spot for visiting parents, relatives and friends of students nearby. Our room was spacious and well appointed, with modern amenities and amazingly comfortable beds. The bathroom is large and the shower is wonderful! There are iPads in each room, though their function is... More

This hotel was wonderful. The staff was constantly at your side for whatever assistance you would need. From the door-man to the front desk to the dining room just FANTASTIC. The location is terrific for walking. You could throw a baseball from the front door to the campus. Sansom Street is a teeny-tiny street where you wouldn't believe such a... More

The location is excellent, near the University of Pennsylvania and the Children's hospital of Philadelphia. The service was excellent and check in and check out was easy. The rooms very large and modern, with really nice bathrooms, comfortable beds, and an iPAD instead of the usual books of guest services. The lobby is on the second floor, but you can... More

Probably the best choice in university city. The lobby and common areas are very classy and well decorated. All of the rooms are newly remodeled and have great technology features. When all of this is added to a location steps from Penn's campus.

We had two stays at this hotel during a trip through the Pennsylvania Dutch country. We came in on the train and rented a car for the trip. This hotel is very convenient for rail and road travel. It is a very nice neighborhood being on the UPenn campus and near Drexel. I enjoyed walking the campuses. Best of all... More

Great location for any business at the University of Pennsylvania. Getting in and out of the hotel requires an extra step, which seems to be becoming more common in inner-city places. You have to take an elevator from the ground floor to the front desk; no way to get directly to room after entering building. Staff was pleasant and gracious.... More

This is a great hotel in Philadelphia. Rooms are of a high standard, well equipped and quiet. Hotel itself is in close proximity to a number of great restaurants and walking distance (or short drive) to all of Philadelphias key attractions. Would definately stay here again.

We were here for a Friday-Monday wedding event. Very nice place to stay, with wonderful staff in all positions - front door, front desk, restaurants, and maid service. Rooms were decent size, felt recently updated, and HVAC was quiet. Parking costs were high, but consistent with the neighborhood. Restaurant costs were also high - $25 total cost for sandwich, drink,... More
